Jonny Evans' hopes of landing a move to Manchester City are in the balance after the West Brom defender arrived at Manchester Airport with the Northern Ireland squad to catch a flight ahead of his country's World Cup clash with San Marino.
City are yet to increase their offer for the former Manchester United defender after having an initial £22million bid knocked back by the Baggies.
Arsenal and Leicester are also interested in Evans, but the 29-year-old would prefer a move to the Etihad.
Manchester City are hopeful they can move out misfits Eliaquim Mangala , Fabian Delph and Wilfried Bony before the transfer window closes.
Crystal Palace are now favourites to sign Mangala after Inter Milan cooled their interest.
